The Moonee Ponds Creek Strategic Opportunities Plan outlines opportunities to revitalise Moonee Ponds Creek with a chain of parklands, new open spaces and wetlands.
The plan outlines a vision to connect new and existing communities along the creek corridor through:
- future focused water management
- public space for community activity
- active transport
- biodiversity
- heritage and culture.
The Moonee Ponds Creek is an important north-south waterway that links several central city urban renewal precincts, however its ecological value and health has been highly degraded by the impacts of industry and infrastructure over decades.
A strategic focus on urban and open space planning that strengthens the ecological, economic and recreational values of this natural asset is necessary to ensure the continued liveability of our neighbourhoods.
